Robert was a great friend at Ridge Street School in Newark (1941-1948). We had some great times at Lake Cupsaw (spelling?). He was about 10 times smarter than me. I see that he had a great career. I was just a soldier for 20 years. Tom Garcia

Robert was an amazing human being who greatly impacted my growth as a person and therapist. He lives on in all the students he inspired. Your family is in my thoughts.

Jeri, Katie and Jon: Our condolences on your loss. Robert was a wonderful and caring man and he will be greatly missed.
